Hi /an/, I was about to put some clothes in the washing machine when I noticed pic related on them.

My cat sometimes sleeps on those clothes.
She was infested with fleas and worms as a kitten (she was born from a stray) and has been dewormed etc a few months ago.
I also have a dog, but she can't reach the clothes, so this is most definitely because of the cat.

I don't recognize these.
Flea eggs looked much smaller, round and white, while these are approximately 2mm long x 1mm wide and yellowish/brown in color.
The cat also doesn't seem to be scratching herself more than usual.
The worms she had previously were white and a bit longer than this, and would kinda look like thin, yellow rice grains once dry/dead. These are a bit different. Could it be another type of worm?
I haven't noticed anything strange in the cat's coat, it's also as shiny and soft as usual. She's behaving normally and I haven't changed her diet.

Location is Northern Italy if that matters.

Can you help me identify what kind of parasite this is?
(I'm taking the cat to the vet to have her spayed in the next days, but I'd like to know what this is in the meantime)

This may not be the case, but if you're leaving food out on the counters, they could be the larvae of nats. I had a case of these on my kitchen counter and they looked like dried/undercooked rice in my opinion. Didn't affect my dog or anything really. All I did to get rid of these was thoroughly wash and bleach the surfaces they were found on (be careful what surfaces you bleach), and they never reappeared. I'm not sure if this helps any, but I thought I'd give you a tip!

Thanks! It's freezing cold in here so I haven't seen any flying bug in a long while, but I'll keep an eye out for that.

tapeworms

regular dewormer doesn't get rid of them, you need to get a special dewormer for tapes

Agreeing with this Anon Tapeworm segments

Tapeworm eggs can travel in to your house just on your shoes, being an indoor dewormed cat doesn't mean they can't pick up an infection again.

I see. My cat is 100% indoor (we live on the second floor) but it's full of stray cats around my house.
